All sightings were recorded without entering people’s allotments, unless permission was given from owners

Highdown Allotment Nature Walk, 21 June 2024

We looked at wildlife friendly practices and recorded as much as we could

The most striking thing was how few insects there were. The wind must have been a factor but we felt even so there should have been more. Certainly there were resources (flowers etc) available for them.

Where possibly sightings were submitted on iNaturalist. Birds were ID'd with the help of the Merlin app. Where species could not be ID'd they were recorded by Genus
